From the Dover IN. II Times
The editor of this paper Was at one
time night editor Of the Boston Daily
News, and as the paper was not finan-
cially strong, the night editor was ex-
pected to act also as city editor, tele-
graph editor, religious editor, base
ball editor, book reviewer, musical
critic, etc. There was q semi Amerl-
canized German boy employed as re-
porter, but his duties were so multi
1arious that he was rarely on hand
when needed. One rainy evening the
night editor was desirous OF obtaining
report Of temperance lecture that
Was to De delivered at the Young
Mems Christian Association building,
and not being able to use the German
reporter, determined to evolve q
report of the lecture from his inner
consciousness. So he wrote what he
thought the lecturer would be likely
to say, and the next day the News
published it. Thefollowing afternoon
on entering the office the night editor
was requested to make g. visit to the
managers office, and going there was
confronted by the person whose lee
ture he had reported. 81 want to
thank you very MUCH" said the per-
son, "for the kind words you wrote
about my lecture, but between you
and me- wouldn't like it to go fur
ther-I didn't speak last night at all.
The lecture was postponed on account
of the rain"

Great Hearted Newspaper Men
From the Ventura (Cal.) Democrat.

From the Ventura (Cal.) Democrat
The editor of this paper has been
appointed postmaster at San Buena-
ventura. We arenot proud or 'stuck
up" about the matter at all; in fact,
we have never been an ofice-seeker,
and banker but little after the emolu-
ments of place. But since the powers
that be have seen fit to clothe us in
this bit of authority we shall accept
the same, and while we cannot prom
Use the boys letter every time they
protrude their rose-tinted noses
through the delivery hole, we shall do
the best we can. AS to the pretty
girls, they shall have q "billydo" on
every occasion If we heve to pen the
darling little Florida water scented
missive ourselves. One thing that
reconciles us to the situation more
than any other is that our toiling
brethren of the quill, for whom we en-
terrain the most cordial regard, have
expressed warm congratulations at
our elevation. This Is not unusual Or
surprising, however. Newspaper men,
as rule, have cheerful feeling for each
other under any and all circumstan-
ces. If we had been suddenly elevated
at the end of g rope-knot under the
left ear-the congratulatory messages
Of our warm-hearted contemporaries
would pour In all the same.

Genius that Pays.
From the New York Times

from Inc new L Ork Times.
A pattern designer for a downtown
ready made clothing establishment,
an Irishman, who was enjoying sal
airy of $4,000 year in Boston,
answered callto this city and is now
being paid at the rate of 81, 800 per
annum. He is employed but few
hours day, but turns out very readi-
ly a sufficient number of crayon sug-
gestions, emphasized by shears, to
keep ahead of score of cutters and
urdreds of sewing tailors. He is an
expert in coats, vests, and trousers,
and is familiar with all sizes of the
ordinary everyday man. He is by
necessity original, and his drawings
are made with mathematical precision,
but in an apparently free-and-easy
outline style. In his way he is a genius
to which enterprise pays tribute. The
salary he receives is about the same
as that of g. governor of one of the
New England states.

An Editors Revenge.
From the Topeka Commonwealth.

fIOM the Topeka COMMONWEALTH.
The editors who have been request
ed to send in their passes, continue to
be heard from. General Passenger
Agent Morse has received q big list OF
them. One writer says: "It gives me
great pain to be compelled to inform
you that eminent council have advis-
ed us that the Interstate advertising
law, soon to be enacted, prohibits all
free advertising, excepting to publish
ers, compositors and authorized news
paper tramps. and that all prior con-
tracts cannot be legally honored. We
have also revised our tariff rates to
comply with the long and short haul
rate, and will be pleased to continue
friendly business relations on g. strict
IL cash basis"

Family Jars in Japan.
From the Brooklyn Magazine.


General speaking, the Japanese men
make kind and affectionate hus-
bands, and the women make virtuous
and exemplary wives and mothers;
and the childr en- are certainly the
happiest little imps in the world;
their parents fondle and spoil them
most effectually, and at the same
time never lose their control over
them. The non-irritating nature of the
native diet has much to do with such
serene nerves and temperaments.
You never see g. child whipped in
Japan; a reproving mother may ad-
minister q mild slap over the head,
which correction invariably brings
the little recalcitrants to order. The
husband has absolute control over
the person of his wife; at the same
time one never sees man strike his
wife in Japan; yet there is consider
able pinching and slapping done on
occasions when those Strange and TN
governable spells of exasperating ugli-
ness known as tantrums settle down
upon their matrimonial horizon. On
these occasions there is considerable
free hitting, biting and scratching in
dulged on both sides OF the house;
but the greater strength of the hus-
band invariably leaves him master
of the situation, and the belligerent
house speedily resumes it's serene and
happy course. On such occasions.
unless physical force was resorted to,
it would be difficult to say where
matters would end; for the women are
very childish, and in their parox-
ysms of fury might speedily demolish
the household, unless restrained.

The Morning Dress.

It is said that lady g standing in society
can easily be determined by her dress al
the breakfast table: an expensive, SNOWY
costume indicating that the wearer has not
yet learned the prophecies. But no one
need be afraid of being called .'shoddy" il
her loneliness is as apparent by daylight as
at the hops. Perfect beauty is never the
attendant OF disease; above all, OF those
diseases peculiar to women, and which find
q ready cure in DR.. Pierce's 'Favorite Pre-
scription." Price reduced to one dollar.

ABOVE all other earthly ills,

By slow degrees they downward wend,
And often pause, or upward tend;
With such discomfort are they fraught
Their good effects amount to naught.

The Queen.

If Moxie Nerve Food can take the place
of drugging and stimulating, it has come to
stay, and many OF the doctors say it
actually does. After thirteen or fourteen
months on the marketit it's sale is said to be
the largest ever known. The large cities
are talking Moxie forever. and every nerv-
GUS woman or overworked person thinks
it is the last half of everything that has
just been found. Poor little Moxie weed,
it never dreamed before that it was so soon
to be queen of the medical world.

Man Wants q Tonic

When there is lack Of elastic energy in the

unrest in the morning, frequent yawning during
the day. and disturbed sleep at night. Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters infuses unwonted energy
into the enfeebled and nervous, endowing them

The Successful Remedy for
Nasal Catarrh

Must be nonirritating, easy of application,
and one that will, by it's own action, reach all
the remote sores and liberated surfaces The
history OF the efforts to treat catarrh during
the past few years demonstrates that only one
remedy has met these conditions, and that is
Ely's Cream Balm. This safe and pleasant
remedy has mastered catarrh as nothing else
has ever done, and both physicians and patients
freely concede this fact. The more distressing
symptoms quickly yield to it, ard multitude
of persons who have for years borne all the
worry and pain that cataIrh can inf1ict, testify
to radical and permanent cures wrought by it..
Ely's Cream Balm is perfectly soothing, excites
no dread, dissolves the hardened a foundations,
lessons the extreme sensibility OF the nerve CEN
tiers to cold and all external irritants, and is
followed by no reaction whatever.
